The Fisher King

In 1991, Terry Gilliam once again shared his special brain with us when he released The Fisher King. The Fisher King is a dramedy telling the story of a disgraced star radio shock-jock who goes on a quest to help repair the life of a man that he inadvertently ruined, and in the process, finds redemption for himself. This film made a humble $42 million on a $24 million budget, was nominated for various Academy Awards (including a win for Mercedes Ruehl), and utilized a stellar cast to bring it to life featuring: Jeff Bridges, Robin Williams, Mercedes Ruehl, Amanda Plummer, and Michael Jeter among other notable faces and names. But, does it hold up? Listen in as Jon, Colin, and Brent discuss the joys of insanity as we try to figure out if this is a worthy quest or a fool's errand.
